The Treeing Tennessee Brindle is the tiger-striped treeing dog of the American South -- a brindle-coated cur whose defining feature is right there in the name. The breed traces to the early 1960s and one man: the Reverend Earl Phillips, who became aware of a type of brindle treeing cur scattered across the South, prized by their owners for their nose, their treeing ability, and their brains. Phillips contacted the owners and fanciers, and on March 21, 1967, they formed the Treeing Tennessee Brindle Breeders Association to "preserve and promote" the brindle cur. The breed is recognised by the American Kennel Club through its Foundation Stock Service, the stepping stone toward full recognition.

In temperament the Treeing Tennessee Brindle is intelligent, friendly, and companionable -- more outgoing and people-oriented than many curs, with a strong treeing instinct and an excellent cold nose. It is courageous in the field and affectionate at home, an even-tempered working dog that makes a devoted family companion when its considerable energy is met. The coat is its signature: brindle, the brown-and-black "tiger-striped" pattern that gives the breed its name, usually with a black muzzle.

Names for a Treeing Tennessee Brindle lean naturally into that striped coat and its Tennessee home. Brindle and coat-toned picks like Tiger, Stripe, Copper, Rusty, Hazel, Coffee, Whiskey, Brandy, and Maple suit the tiger-striped pattern perfectly. The Tennessee roots invite country-music nods -- Dolly, Cash, Reba, Loretta, and Patsy -- and a place name like Memphis, while working picks such as Scout, Hunter, and Rebel fit the treeing job.
